/u/terrykrohe would it be possible to do one plotting percentage of impoverished population that's black people against incarceration categorized by R and D?

Our boy here has a hypothesis for a cause of incarceration and surely the correlations for the "obvious explanation" will be stronger than the correlations for the alleged Effect of political affiliation.

I found data from the StLouis Fed Reserve and from the sentencing project source ... I will work something up

It would be a plot of black/white income ratio VS black/white incarceration ratio using the Rep/Dem state differentiation.

... thanks for the suggestion – it should be interesting
